Outstanding Graduate Merit Award Student Leadership Award

Gary Williams, M.D., DABT, is Professor of Enrique Fuentes-Mattei Pathology at New York Medical College. Hispanic Organization for Toxicologists, Dr. Williams has made a number of University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences contributions to chemical carcinogenesis, Campus particularly hepatocarcinogenesis. He conducted pioneering work in developing methods for the culture of hepatocytes and introduced the use of cultured hepatocytes to measure chemical- induced DNA repair synthesis as a means of identifying potential chemical Sheppard Allen Martin Gary Williams carcinogens. Based in part on extensive Risk Assessment Specialty Section, findings with hepatocarcinogens in the University of Georgia hepatocyte system, he advanced the concept of distinct DNA- reactive and epigenetic mechanisms of carcinogenicity. He contributed to the understanding of liver neoplasia as a multi- step process involving the initiation of hepatocytes to form proliferative preneoplastic lesions identifiable by phenotype abnormalities, such as resistance to iron accumulation and expression of glutamine synthetase. Through assessment of the influence of hepatocarcinogens on the development of preneoplastic cells, he documented that DNA-reactive ENDOWMENT carcinogens rapidly induced such lesions, whereas epigenetic Investing in the Future ... Perry J. Gehring agents only slowly enhanced their expansion, thereby extending Diversity Student Travel Award the understanding of different modes of action. Furthermore, he helped in distinguishing adaptive from adverse effects in the Vanessa De La Rosa liver and other tissues. Also, Dr. Williams has investigated in University of Texas El Paso depth the dose-response characteristics of DNA-reactive hepatocarcinogens. By quantifying key events, including DNA adducts, cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and induction of preneoplastic lesions, he has identified non-linearities and no effect levels at low doses for several DNA-reactive carcinogens. Dr. Williams has been involved in teaching toxicology through the organization of symposia and, for the past fifteen years, a course on safety assessment of medicines, and has advanced the discipline by serving on numerous advisory bodies and editorial boards. He received the Arnold J. Lehman Award in 1982 and the Enhancement of Animal Welfare Award in 2002 from SOT and the Ambassador in Toxicology Award from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Chapter of SOT in 2001. We congratulate and recognize Dr. Gary Williams as the recipient of the 2009 Merit Award.

Translational Impact Award SOT AstraZeneca IUTOX Fellowship

Thomas W. Kensler, Ph.D., is the 2009 Sema Burgaz (Turkey) Translational Impact awardee. Dr. Kensler Estefania G. Moreira (Brazil) is currently Professor of Toxicology in the Kolawole V. Olorunshola (Nigeria) Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Kelly P.K. Olympio (Brazil) School of Public Health where he holds a Betzabet Quintanilla-Vega (Mexico) joint appointment in the Department of Jalila Ben Salah (Tunisia) Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as well as in the Departments of Suleeporn Sangrajang (Thailand) Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, Thomas W. and Oncology in the Johns Hopkins Kensler School of Medicine. Dr. Kensler has devoted much of his professional career to the development of molecular approaches to cancer prevention, seeking to develop the tools to test the hypothesis that enzyme induction through Keap1-Nrf2 signaling is a useful strategy for chemoprevention in humans. In the past decade, he has driven this science through several clinical trials towards practical strategies to affect a reduction of the impact of liver cancer in the economically developing world. He has provided outstanding leadership to bring together multidisciplinary teams of toxicologists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians and clinicians to the field of chemoprevention. Most importantly, he has managed to accomplish these achievements in a multicultural international setting. Collectively Dr. Kensler has been a major contributor to the translational research efforts that are bringing new prevention opportunities to high-risk populations in the world. His work uses a foundation of rigorous, cutting-edge basic science to bring mechanism-based hypotheses into clinical trials. Over the past decade, this work has led to practical means for reducing the burden of environmentally-induced cancer in humans. These findings not only have importance in cancer research but have also been extended to the larger field of adaptive responses to many environmental stresses. Congratulations to Dr. Thomas Kensler, the first recipient of the Translational Impact Award.

Recognition of the 20th Anniversary of the Undergraduate Education Program for Minority Students

At the 1989 SOT Annual Meeting in Atlanta, a small group of farsighted members were inspired to reach out to undergraduate institutions in the region with an invitation for students from demographic groups underrepresented in the sciences to come to the SOT meeting, in order to learn about toxicology and career opportunities in science. The Program organizers noted that undergraduate science majors are likely to choose graduate training in fields in which they feel they can make a difference and fields that provide a diversity of career choices, but that only eight institutions José Manautou, Myrtle Davis, offered toxicology as an undergraduate major. To be aware of Mari Stavanja, and Marion Ehrich toxicology as a career choice, the students needed an introduction.

In 1991, candidates could come from anywhere in the U.S. (and territories) because NIH funding for travel support was procured. The track record for this annual event includes almost continuous funding from the NIH Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program. As noted by Adolphus Toliver, Chief of the MARC Branch, “It is good to know that your program is successful in helping us meet our goal of increasing the number of underrepresented scientists that participate in the scientific health related workforce of the country.”

In the 20 years of the Undergraduate Education Program for Minority Students, it has grown from less than 10 students and 2 advisors in 1989, to 38 students and 8 faculty advisors in 2009, and a total through the Program history of about 700 students and 120 advisors from approximately 120 academic institutions have received travel support to attend the SOT Annual Meeting. In a recent survey of participants, nearly ¾ of respondents stated that the Program provided them with a great deal of new information and 72% of surveyed seniors indicated that they were considering graduate school in toxicology.

Perhaps the strongest testimony of the importance of the Program is in increasing the diversity of the SOT membership. As early as the first Program in 1989, the seeds were sown for one of the participants to pursue a career in the sciences and become a faculty member at Bowie State. Now, three of those who first came to the SOT Annual Meeting as Undergraduate Education Program for Minority Students participants have been appointed to the Committee on Diversity Initiatives, the group that oversees the Program.

In summary, the Society of Toxicology has grown in many ways over the last twenty years. We are especially pleased to recognize the strengths that we have gained and the additional contributions made to toxicology as a consequence of the Undergraduate Education Program for Minority Students through the dedicated efforts of the numerous people who have organized these events. SOT visionaries: grant writers, committee chairs, committee members, speakers, mentors, poster presenters, funders, internship hosts, and all the others who have been responsible for developing, conducting, and sustaining a special meeting-within-the SOT meeting. But we are especially pleased to recognize the students who were intrigued by toxicology through the Program and are now here as our colleagues.
